• Solid Wooden Panel: Carefully mounted on a durable solid wood block to ensure structural longevity, weighted balance, and a substantial, luxury feel.
• Microscopic Detail & Vibrant Red Border: The shimmering gilded background highlights the intricate gold embroidery of her royal mantle, the crown gemstones, the Precious Cross, her radiant halo, and her noble, luminous countenance, beautifully framed by a bold red border and inner gold trim.
